Mac show up as domain controllers in Active directory

Anybody had a tiger intel machine show
up as a domain controller in active directory....

Hi Daniel,
might be the obvious, but is the Time inside your VPC Windows also off by these six hours ?
Maybe a simple setting of the 'Windows Time' to the correct time is needed.
Nonetheless I don't think that the different/future time will be affecting your databases in any way.

Query related to UPN Suffix in Hierarchical domain architecture in Active Directory deployment

This is regarding a query related to UPN Suffix in Hierarchical domain architecture in Active Directory deployment.
We use LDAP query (filter uPNSuffixes=* for the parent domain DN) to retrieve the upn suffixes configured in the AD Domain. This returns the UpnSuffixes configured for the entire domain tree ( upnsuffixes of parent domain and all the child domains) in the
hierarchy. The AD Domains and Trusts configuration lists all the upnsuffixes as part of the dnsroot domain.
For one of our implementation, we need to distinguish between the UPNsuffixes belonging to the parent and child domain and map the UPN suffixes with the respective domain in the hierarchy. As the upnsuffixes are stored as part of the root domain in the AD
domains and trusts configuration, it was not clear how to retrieve the information specific to each domain in the hierarchy.
It would be helpful if you could provide pointers on how to obtain the above mapping for the upn suffixes in a hierarchical domain setup.
Thank you,
Durgesh

By default, you can use only the domain name as UPN suffix for user accounts you create within the domain. It is possible to add extra UPN suffixes but these are added at the forest level and not specific to a domain.

Binding MAC 9.X workstations to Windows 2003 Active Directory

Hello all,
Has anyone achieved sucess with adding/binding Mac 9.X workstations to Microsoft 2003 Active Directory? We have 25 iMAC 9.2.2 workstations (we cannot upgrade to MAC OS 10.X because of hardware limitations) on a Windows 2003 SP2 network. I know that it can work with MAC OS 10.X but looking for a OS 9.X solution.
I want to be able to apply security, printer scripts for the MAC computers using the 2003 Active Directory.
Thanks
17" Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 2 gb ram

You don't need to do anything in AD other than create the user you want to log onto your Mac.

Difference between Windows NT domain registry and Active Directory registry

What are the difference(s) ?

Frank, thanks for your response :)
I want WebSphere Application Server to take advantage of a directory service. There are multiple options available for a directory service.
In my configuration the requirement is to make WebSphere Application server to use Microsoft's Active Directory.
While I was going through (WebSphere) documentation, I see following note.
" With Windows NT domain registry support for Windows 2000 and 2003 domain
controllers, WebSphere Application Server only supports Global groups that are the Security type. It is recommended that you use the Active Directory registry support rather than a Windows NT domain registry if you use Windows 2000 and 2003 domain controllers
because the Active Directory supports all group scopes and types. The Active Directory also supports a nested group that is not support by Windows NT domain registry. The Active Directory is a centralized control registry."
You can find the above note in this link (somewhere after 7th line)
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_7.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/csec_localos.html?cp=SSAW57_7.0.0%2F3-11-5-1-0-0
Does it mean that they are recommending to use Active Directory over Windows NT (which is an older approach) with windows server 2000 or windows server 2003 because Active directory is
advanced ?
I was under the impression that, Active Directory was started with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows NT registry was used till Windows 2000 server.
After going through above links,
Windows NT registry in an old method. However, it is compatible with Windows Server 2000 and Windows server 2003 but it is recommended to use Active directory with Windows Serve 2003 as it is more advanced. And the same is recommended in WebSphere documentation
(I am aware that support for Windows Server 2000 is over and only extended support is available for Windows Server 2003 however this is to clear doubt). Is my understanding correct ? And does windows server 2000 also support both i.e we can use either Windows
NT registry or Active directory and similarly, Either of them (Windows NT or Active Directory) could be used with Windows Server 2003 ?
And if I got it correct, Is Windows NT and Active Directory, both directory service offering from Microsoft? While NT being an old method and Active Directory being a new/advanced approach ?

Policy domain root for Activer directory

I am setting up the access manager with active directory . But during web configuration ,it prompts for providing a policy domain root. I choose go ahead with default vlaue (i.e /). But it is returning me following error.
"Error in setting Policy Domain Root."
Please some one help out in resolving this issue.

Hi Nataraj,
I know what your problem is. Go to the computer running Active Directory, open "Open Active Directory Domains and Trusts" under Start -> Administrative tools. Right click on your domain shown and choose "Raise Domain to Functional level", you might need to this three to four times before this takes effect.
Then on the same window, right click on "active directory domains and trusts" and choose "Raise Forest functional Level", you might need to do this three times as well.
This will solve your problem, unfortunately you'll have to reinstall Access/Policy Manager. I have had this problem many times and this solved it. I am assuming you are using Windows 2003 Enterprise server.

Hi,
You must use the Windows Server platform system for the AD service, you can refer the following KB first:
Active Directory

Mac OS X Server File Shares and Active Directory Users

About ready to pull my hair out on this one...
We have a department that only uses Macs. At the moment, it's a hodgepodge of different setups. We were able to convince the department to standardize, and purchase a Mac Mini Server. To keep things a bit simpler, we are setting up their department shares on the server as well.
To make my life simpler (or so I thought...) I decided to bind the OS X Server to our AD, and use the AD users/groups to allow access to the shares. The OS X Server app lists all of our AD user and groups, and I can apply them to the shares, however, when we try to access the share, it fails.
I don't think the server is talking to our AD correctly.
I can login to the Mac Server with my network account, my network account works for accessing Server.app, but nothing I've tried will allow our Mac or Windows clients to access the shares with the AD credentials. The log file comes up with:
mccsrvrmac.mcc.local smbd[441]: check_account - [7]: [permission denied] pam_acct_mgmt
Also seeing this:
mccsrvrmac.mcc.local kdc[57]: Asked for LKDC, but there is none
A bit of background: We added this Mac to the domain once before, realized that the HDDs weren't setup in a RAID config, so wiped it and reinstalled. I did remove the computer account before rebinding.
Any help is appreciated!

I figured this out. In Mountain Lion Server, it doesn't matter if you give the user rights to a shared file or folder, if the user doesn't have access the File Sharing service, they can't get it. I had to find the specific users in the Server app under the AD in the Users tab, and give them rights to the File Sharing service. I think you can do this for a whole AD group as well, but I haven't tried.

Mac user account locked out in Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
I have some users who get their user account locked out several times a day.
It seems to be an issue with the keychain.
Our users need to change their password every 90 days domain GPO applied on every users.
Do you know how to fix this issue?
I have notice that most of the time this happens when the Mac wakes up from sleep mode while still connected to the network and when the users try to re login.
Thank you.

Hi Nicky
I had a very similar problem a while back. It turned out that I had another device trying to retrieve mail from the corporate account. in my case it was an iPod that was just sitting on charge for weeks at a time but was accessing the Exchange server with the wrong password, after having changed it due to the same password policy you use. Of course after a set number of tries, the AD locked the account.
I always remember to change my iPhone password now

The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service was unable to process a request due to an unexpected error. : Error: An Active Directory Constraint Violation error occurred

Hello,
We have a multi domain parent child AD domain infrastructure and now we upgraded our exchange from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. Since last few days, we see the below error on the mailbox server event viewer.
EVENT ID : 1121

This may be caused by replication latency between Active Directory domain controllers.
Active directory response: 000020B5: AtrErr: DSID-0315286E, #1:
Our Exchange setup is in parent domain, but we keep on getting this error for various domain controllers in each child domain in the same site. We then configured one of the parent domain domain controller on Exchange. Still we are getting this error for
the configured parent domain DC.
Verified the AD replication and there is no latency or pending stuffs.
Any support to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
In addition to Ed's suggestion, I would like to clarify the following things for troubleshooting:
1. Please restart IIS at first.
2. If the issue persists, please ping your DC on your Exchange server to check if Exchange can communicate with DC.
Hope it helps.

Active Directory Domain Controllers using Virtual Servers

Hi,
I want to place a new SAP landscape in a child domain of the Active Directory forest. Due to an ordering error I am short two servers.
Basically I am thinking about installing a virtual server on each of the development servers and using the virtual server installation to run as Active Directory Domain controllers.
I know SAP do not recommend using SAP servers to be used as domain controllers, but as these are separate servers with their defined resources, it should not be a factor if the servers are sized with enough spare capacity.
Can anyone think of any other major issues that would cause me an further issues.
TIA
Chris aka BoobBoo

should be no problem, but please don't try to put the host-operating system in the domain for which their own guests will provide the domain controlers.

Two Domain Controllers with the Same Name

So I was working on setting up our new branch office DC. Anyway, the server failed to join the domain the first time because it upgraded the AD schema (This was our first 2012 R2 server) and the schema wasn't synced to all the other remote offices. So I
forced a sync, joined the server as a workstation, then made it a domain controller.
Anyway, after that the server would show itself as a DC in Active Directory, but all the other servers believed it was just a workstation. So, I removed Active Directory from the server (I had to force the removal). I reset the computer account on the local
DCs, then rejoined it to the domain and made it a domain controller again. This time, it appeared as a Domain Controller on the other DCs in the domain.
Now for the issue --- I've now got two objects for the server under AD Sites and Services. One of them doesn't appear to have any AD DS connections. The other has connections, but not all of them work correctly (I get errors when I tell certain connections
to sync).
What should I do to fix this?
I'm still in the setup phase of this, so I can do anything I want with this particular server. I was thinking I would demote from a Domain Controller, remove it from the domain. Then use ntdsutil to cleanup any other metadata that is hanging around in AD (Something
like: https://support.microsoft.com/KB/216498?wa=wsignin1.0 )
Does anyone else have suggestions on what I should do to fix this? --- I'm being overly cautious here as I do not want to mess anything up in Active Directory.
Thanks!

I have not done a metadata cleanup.... I was asking if I should.
The connections on the valid server appeared to be working before I deleted them (Maybe it took a while to replicate ? )
So I went through and deleted all the AD Sites and Services connections from both servers (The broken server had 5 connections to the same DC in another site). Anyway, I ran repadmin /kcc and it regenerated a connection to a server in the remote site, but
it also generated a connection between the two servers with the same name. I ran dcdiag after I did the repadmin /kcc. Anyway it shows:

Domain/Active Directory

Hey Everyone! I can't figure out how to add a domain to my ibook. I try using Directory access (where i can add a workgroup if i wanted) and clicked on active directory. i input all the information, but its not working. Does anybody no another way to add a domain or Configure active directory to work on my mac. I know i have all the info correct because my PC is on the same domain. In advance thanks!

Hi JuniorNM,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When you try to log into a Windows 2003 server from a Mac, the server will respond with a credentials request, same as if it were a PC.
Username/password need to be entered to gain access.
The comment you've made about "The alias "comercial2" could not be opened" is saying the "Shortcut" to the networked volume is not accessible because either the path is bad or the credentials are wrong.
If the location to the origianl item has not changed when the alias was made, then most likely the password has been changed in the PC world. You can use any valid PC account to access the server when using the Mac to log in to the 2003 server.
When that happens a new alias will have to be made because the alias stores the access request data also.
(All this has nothing to do with Active directory unless your computer has been added to the A/D forest).
Also:
Adding a PC to a domain has nothing to do with using Active Directory except the account adding the computer to the domain must have the priviledges to add computers to the domain. Active Directory will allow a user account to access an individual PC (or groups) and control what the user can and can't do.
I hope this helps.

Active Directory error message "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location forestB\username

Hello Community
    "forestA" is my forest it is a Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition
domain controller using Active Directory and the UI.
    In my forest ("forestA") trust relationship I created a "One-Way, Out-going"
forest trust with Forest-Wide authentication so that a different forest user(s) or
group(s) with a different admin in a forest named “forestB” can access the resources in my “forestA”
    But also forestB needs to create a "One-way, Incoming" forest trust so that
I can either add the user(s) or group(s) from “forestB” into to a "Global Security - Group"
in my "forestA" or I can
add user(s) as "domain user(s)" from “forestB” into my "forestA".
    The problem is that when I right click the global group in my forestA and then
properties, when I click "Members" and then the "Add" button when I type
"forestB\username" I get an error message from Active Directory stating:
    "the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location
dialog box, and is therefore not valid: forestB\username".
    Am I doing something wrong when creating the one-way trust in my
“forestA” or is the one-way trust being created wrong by the other domain admin in the other “forestB”?
    Or could I possibly need to select "Change Domain" or "Change Domain Controller"
before adding the users or Groups to my forestA from forestB?
    That is why I am asking
how do you add an Active Directory user from one forest into another forest?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hello Denis Cooper
    That is the end result.
    What I was trying to do was that I was trying to
bring in the user(s) and group(s) from “forestB” into
my “forestA” Global group.
    Later on I was going to add the user(s) or Global groups(s) that I brought into my dc in my forestA
into the domain local groups on my member servers in my forestA.
    So since the error message is:
"the following object is not from a domain listed in the Select location dialog box, and is therefore not valid: forestB\username".
Does your response
mean only Global group(s) from forestB not domain user(s) from forestB have
to been added to domain local groups in forestA?
Or is it also possible to add Global group(s) from “forestB” to Global group(s) in my “forestA” and if so
how without getting the above error message?
Thank you

How to set permissions on a file for a Mac without active Directory

We don't have our Macs in the Active Directory, we are looking to share an external hard drive to only Macs and not the Windows PC's on the network with out using active directory. I have tested sharing the external hard drive from a PC to everyone and both the PC's and Macs can access this, but we only want the Macs to see this and access this and not everyone. There is no selection for sharing with the computer name in the Share permissions so the only way to do this is to share it to everyone. The Mac accounts are local to the Macs and the PC's are on Active Directory so what i need to do is have a way to share this folder with only Macs and not all the windows PC's. Any solutions, any ideas will help
Thanks
